LegoGBC presents us his latest GBC module, a Pneumatic Tower which was inspirated by Akiyuki, but with a 90 degrees angle.

“It uses a single switch and 2 cylinders. Because the air will always go to the cylinder which job is easier, the movment sequence works perfectly with one switch.2 PF M motors are used to compress and change the switch’s position, (2 because one PF M was too slow and I don’t have an XL motor)

It was very hard to build the body of the crane as the cylinders try to “escape” from turning the gears.”

It was made by the Spanish Lego GBCer Parda (Who also made this fantastic article with tips for GBCs). A while ago he asked me to make the lxf file for it, so users could download it and use Lego Digital Designer to build it.

#Ihatethenewyoutube which doesnt allow me to do anything with my Yiharua account. I must connect it to Google+, which I have never planned to have. After that it obligues me to do a new channel in order to use my account. WTF!!!??? I cannot use the old one anymore!

Why do I say this? I wasn’t able to comment in Philip’s lego video for this reason. And I wanted to denounce Youtube.

Well, after all this, here you can see the last video of one of the greatest Lego GBC contributors of this blog: Philip Verbeek:

I hope you liked it!

Abd Philip, my comment in youtube (In the shit it has became…) would be something like this: Those wires are magnificient. Very clever modules as always. Congrats ;).

Akiyuki, as most of you know, is the most succesfull Lego GBC builder in the world. His latest creation is a ball activated module. A really clever idea, which is typical on him. I am pretty sure you will enjoy the video ;).

Today I present you my Lego GBC Jumper Module. Basically it consists of a bar connected to a shock absorver. When pressure is left, all the force is released and the ball is fired.
This is so far the most complex GBC I have ever posted (There are many “big fails” that I will never publish… But much more complex). Besides this in that small space we can find two links going up and down and a ball remover.

Apparently it has no errors. The only small problem happens when the ball is elevated. Sometimes it doesn´t fall to the launcher.

I am very proud of this module. It has been many months in my mind, undergoing continuous changes, until I have solved them. In part, the previous module (Which you can see here) was made to cheer me up, because this was all a puzzle.

The original idea for the kick launcher comes from Philip Verbeek (The European Akiyuki… He has some impressive GBCs. Ought to see them). The music of the video is owned by Alasdair Fraser. I hope you enjoy it.
